I find the "reduced motion" option to be a good middle ground between animations and no animations.

I see you are using Blockr for $0.99c; is any good?

Better than the Free content blockers like Focus by Firefox & 1Blocker?

I tried a few of them and don't really feel a difference between them. I do find purify to be the fastest though. 1blocker on the other hand allows for much deeper control of what you want blocked. Never heard of focus, will give it a shot.

Nah, as impressive as the S7 is, and it looks and plays fab, for longevity and peace of mind, I'm going to be riding the iPhone train for quite a while I reckon.
Nice post, it's like you answered the question I hadn't asked yet :) Are you on a 6S or 6S Plus?

Coming from a Sony Z2, I'm wondering whether to get the 6S (in June 2016) or the S7 (now).
When would one see a price drop on the 6S?

Tough one. There should be a new iPhone in September and going by the previous models to the latest, just over a year brings lower contract prices so I'd imagine at least by November/December it'll be cheaper than now.

But yeah, I played with the S7 and it's a nice piece of kit. But as I said, I'm pretty much through with Android for now and have seen through their illusion that higher, bigger and more of every specification must mean it's better. It's not.

I've got a 6s 64gb and I am still so chuffed with it after 6 months. For example, 3D Touch has worked its way into my life and it's pretty much become essential. So for me it's a no brainier, but you won't go wrong with the S7 either if you can't wait :D

Anyone using Google Maps on ios 9.3b6.

I cannot get street / road names voice instruction to work.
Only general directions, " turn left, go south" etc
Im not sure if it worked on previous versions.

Did the Google search, my app seems to be setup correctly

Anyone still on 9.1 and using a 64 bit device. There's a Pangu jailbreak available.

For those that have still not gotten it to work... Start off with the assistive touch button in the right hand lower corner of the screen. Every time you slide down in spotlight search make sure you wait for the assistive touch button to move on top of the keyboard and continuously repeat steps 3 and 4.

Wow. As in "wow!" Just did this - difference is incredible! Thanks!

Tip - you'll know it's activated when the animation of the assistive touch button swooping up from the bottom to the top of the keyboard, noticeably speeds up - almost blurs as it jumps from bottom to top. I did it about 25 times before it activated.

Edit: Did it on the iPP now as well – joy.

Just had a look at the contract prices for the new Samsung range.Scary stuff!!
Unless the iPhone 7 is a radical improvement I think I'll be sticking with the 6s.Starting to become an expensive hobby.

How much could I sell an iPhone 6s 64gb for? Bought at launch so about 6m old. Had cover on since day one so impeccable condition.

I would also like to know, I think (comparing adds on gumtree) that you can get atleast 10k for it, cost 13k, with the R/$, I see new its even more hectic.

Maybe I'm delayed. I see my F/book recently got the 3D Touch Peek & Pop gestures within the App. Brilliant

They were rolling it out slowly.
